This paper introduces a method for regularization of HMM systems that avoids parameter overfitting caused by insufficient training data. Regularization is done by augmenting the E...
Abstract--Motivated by potential applications in second-language pedagogy, we present a novel approach to using articulatory information to improve automatic detection of typical p...
Mixture models, such as Gaussian Mixture Model, have been widely used in many applications for modeling data. Gaussian mixture model (GMM) assumes that data points are generated fr...
Automatic pronunciation assessment has several difficulties. Adequacy in controlling the vocal organs is often estimated from the spectral envelopes of input utterances but the en...
The colour of colon tissue, which depends on the tissue structure, its optical properties, and the quantities of the pigments present in it, can be predicted by a physics-based mod...
